An Effective Means
to Fruitful Evangelization
RATIONALE
In this short dissertation, we will scrutinize how Sacred Music can be a very effective means of evangelization, whereby, Music becomes an essential instrument in drawing people’s hearts closer to the Lord in the Eucharist. Here, we will try to seek evidence from existing sources, on how the mind works in relation to the auditory sense or hearing. We will also try to explain how certain kinds of music affect a person’s inner disposition, emotion and overall experience. Finally, we will try to identify the kinds of music that are effective in achieving the purpose of touching people’s hearts and bringing them to love the Lord more and more.
INTRODUCTION
According to Joseph Machlis, music is the language of emotions. Music, like language aims to communicate meaning. Like language, it possesses a grammar, a syntax and a rhetoric. But it is a different kind of language. Words are concrete, tones are fluid and intangible. A word taken by itself has a fixed meaning; a tone assumes meaning only from its association with other tones. Words convey specific ideas; music suggests elusive states of mind.
In the religious life, music, specifically Sacred Music is a way of life. In the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy, and in Chanting the Sacred Hours, Music...

...Type of Concert: Pau Hana; Music and Dance from Asia and the Pacific
General reaction: Overall, I was somewhat impressed with the majority of the performances. There were many different instruments, costumes, and music expressing the different cultures. There were a few musical instruments that seemed out of the ordinary, and also wasn’t very pleasing to the ears, but they did a great job. The UH students in the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Hawaiian music courses performed at this concert.
Composition I liked best: The musical piece that I enjoyed the most was the Japanese Koto, Edo- komoriuta and Sunayama. Edo-komoriuta is a well- known traditional lullaby which originates from the Edo region of Japan, written around the year of 1922. While listening to the women singing the lullaby, I was actually falling asleep! This music must definitely work for young babies/children. It was very pleasant to listen to. It was something quite different for me, but quite calming, peaceful, and just displayed exquisite sounds. There were about 6 females sitting on a stool wearing kimonos, playing some type of Japanese guitar. Their voices were very soothing and harmonizing. Other versions of this lullaby would include the piano and clarinet. The tempo of this song was of course very slow because it was a lullaby.
The Edo-komoriuta musical piece simulated the Baroque period in a sense that it consisted of only a female voice....

...Piano Is My LIfe
My name is Eric Valencia and I began playing piano three and a half years ago. I never
had any interest in playing piano, although I loved hearing it. My grandmother passed away
december of 2008 and I was deeply saddened by this event. My music history teacher in high
school played a few pieces for us from the classical period. I remember hearing the Marriage
of figaro, Moonlight sonata, Don Giovanni, and a few others, but Moonlight sonata grabbed
my attention the most. I began to learn this piece by ear as I had no prior piano knowledge.
Little by little, the piece began to come along and i performed it in class to the best of my
ability. I've never been that nervous at anytime of my life.
In the last semester of my senior year at high school, I decided to learn the third
movement of moonlight sonata, yet this time my apporach was different. I found a program
called synthesia for pc, and this program would play midi files in a way that was easy for me
to understand. So I learned the third movement through it within 3 months, and performed
it the last weeks of school. As my interest grew in the piano world, I began to discover other
composers and pianists. The next composer I studied was Franz Liszt.
The first couple of pieces I ever discovered by Franz Liszt were La Notte, Nuage Gris,
Il Pensoroso, and the Transcendental Etudes, along with Soneto del Petrarca 104. I learned...

...often see the C scale referred to when we are talking about music. You may be familiar with the syllables that we sometimes use to sing a scale: Do, Re, Me, Fa, So (or Sol), La, Ti, Do.
Rhythm represents another fundamental aspect of music and perhaps the most fundamental of all musical elements. It is the timing of the musical sounds or notes in the music. Rhythm is composed of both the strong, accented pulses as well as the weaker, unaccented pulses.
The beat is the basic time unit within a piece of music. You may have seen a music score with bars of notes indicated. These bars of music are giving the musician information not only about the pitch of the music, but also the rhythm.
Syncopation involves placing emphasis on normally un-emphasized beats or using a rest on a normally emphasized beat. In other words, syncopation involves disrupting or interrupting the expected or normal rhythm of music. Many different types of music, including ska, reggae, rap, jazz, and some forms of metal, use syncopation regularly in the music.
Tempo is the speed of a given piece of music. If you think about it, tempo plays an important role in determining the mood of a piece of music, along with elements like pitch.
A metronome, or a device that produces regular ticks or beats according to the beats per minute, is one...

...Spell” was more legato and slow. Also, I found that the texture in both pieces was legato, smooth, and consisted of an exposition, bridge, and recapitulation section. The reason I brought this up is because it made me realize the significant similarities of both symphonies; yet how different each composer translates the textures into their own word paintings. The word painting of “Good Friday Spell” distinguished an ocean like texture, while Mozarts Symphony 40 gives the listener an escaping feeling; that makes the music feel charging from the quick violin tempo.
After a short break, I listened to the second piece called “To The Memory of An Angel by Alban Berg. What interested me most about the piece was how it divided into two separate movements, the andante and allegro. I was able to connect to the first movement that sounded as a dance-like section. The reason I was inspired is because during my senior year of High School, I often danced with a group to upbeat music, which reminded me of the symphonies final piece that consisted of a similar texture. What inspired me the most during the symphony was the soloist known as Elisa Barston. She exceeded my expectation of the song during her solo section. Her solo had invoked every musical texture one can imagine: quick, legato, piano, staccato, smooth, etc. It was the climax of the piece and the high point of the allegro section. It was astonishing how smoothly the transition came about between...
